DAN RYLANDS, OF BARNSLEY, COUNTY OF YORK, ENGLAND MACHINERY FOR THE MANUFACTURE OFBOTTLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 416,376, dated December 3, 1889.

Application filed January 23, 1889. Serial No. 297,326. (No model.) Patented iii England March 3, 1888, No. 3,263.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DAN RYLANDS, a sub ject of the Queen of Great Britain, residing at Barnslcy, in the have invented new and useful Improvements in Machinery for the Manufacture of Bottles, (for which I have obtained a patent in Great Britain, No. 3,263, bearing date March 3, 1888,) of which the following is a specifica- My invention relates to improvements in machinery for making bottles, jars, or other hollow ware in glass.

In order to make my invention more clearly understood, I have annexed hereto six sheets of drawings, to which the following description relates, and in which the same figures of reference indicate the same parts.

Figures 1 and 2 are elevations; Fig-3, a plan view. Figs. 4, 5, and 6 are elevations, partly in section, showing one complete mold and apparatus for operating the same. Figs. 7, 8, and 9 are pla'n views of molds and moldoperating apparatus; Fig. 10, a sectional elevation of blow-pipe-admission valve, and Fig. 11 an elevation of same.

Referring to Fig. 1, 1 is a pillar supporting bracket 2, at the outer end of which is formed a tubular guide 3, for the reception of the sliding ram 4; 5, a lever fulcrumed at 6 and connected to raln t by link 7; 8, a balanceweight; 9, a tapered pin or plunger'secured to and carried by ram 4,- 10, a table capable of intermittent rotary movement around the central pillar 1.

11 11 are bottle-molds carried by studs 12 12.

The method of opening and closing the different portions constituting the complete mold is shown more fullyin Figs. 1, 5, (l, 7, 8, and 9,

13 13 are (letents capable recesses formed in sector. 14.

15 15 are handles operating through shafts 16 16.

17 18 are circular paths formed in the framing 19, the angular ontcr pathway 17 being formed with a double incline or depression extending from 20 to 21, the remaining por being level. (See Figs. 1 and 2:) The inner pathway 18 has also a rising and falling incline. risin from 22 to detents 13 13 county of .York, England,

of dropping into 23, Fig. 3., level from 23 to 24, and descending to the level of the otherwise level pathway at 25.

Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7, S, and 9 show onemold and the apparatus for operating same.

26 26 26 are stationary cams secured to cen tral pillar 1.

27 27 27 27 are plungers having hearings in guide 28. 29 29 29 29 are bowls or runners carried by plungers 27; 60, spiral springs carried by the plungers 27, one of which is shown by Fig. 9. a .30 30 are connecting-links between the different sections of mold and plungers 27- 27.

The molds shown are arranged to make imperial half-pint bottles, and open at top and bottom, and are built upin sections, each section being hinged and capable of opening, as shown in plan views 7, 8, and 9. tom section 31 has an internal diameter equal to the external diameter of the bottle to be made, and constitutes the body portion.

32 is one of the neck-molds of smaller diameter than the intended neck.

33 is the portion forming the mouth of the bottle; 34, a neck-mold having its internal contour formed to produce a neck of the desired form, as shown at 35, Fig. 6; 36, a sliding annular ram forming a-portion of the bottle-bottom and actuated through runner 37 by pathway 18; 38, a solid ing in interior of annularram 36 and having movement given to itby runner 39 andpathway 17.

It will be observed that the upper surfacesof the two rams, as shown by Fig. 6, will produce the formation of bottle-bottom required. Fig. 4 is an elevation, partly in section, on line'23, (see Fig. 3,) Fig. 7 being a plan view of same, and shows mold and actuating ap- The bot paratus in thecharg'ingposition, the annular ram 36 being at its highest and solid ram 38 at its lowest position, the bottom section of mold 231 being closed and the neck and mouth portions 32, 33, and 31 being open,as shown. Fig. 5 shows the position assumed by the various parts on line 21, (see Fig. 3,) which represents the plunging or pressing position, the annular and solid rams being at their highest position, the sections of molds 32 33 being closed and neck portion 34 open.

Fig. 6, taken on line 25,1Fig. 3, shows the blowing position, the annular plunger 36 having now reached its lowest position, the smaller neck-mould 32 having'opened and the neck-mold 34 closed.

Fig. 10 is a sectional elevation of blow-pipeadmission valve, in which 40 is the valve, 41 the valve-casing, and. 42 an attachment for opening the valve, the spring 43 serving to close the valve. 44 is a slidingbracket working in guides fixed to bracket 2, (see Figs. 1, 2 and 3,) and to this bracket the blow-pipe valve is attached.-

Having now explained the-various parts appertaining to my invention,I proceed to show the method adapted in producing, say,an imperial halfrpint bottle.

Referring to Figs. 4 and 7, which show 'a mold in the charging position, the bottom'portion of the mold 31 being closed, the neck 32 34 and mouth portions 33 open, the annular ram 36 beiiig at its higest and solid ram 38 at its lowest position, it will be seen that the molten metal is charged into and contained by the space surrounded by the annular and solid rams. The table 10 and the charged mold being now rotated into position un- V der the pressing plunger or pin 9 on line 24, Fig. i3, will result in the neck32 and mouth 38, portions of the mold closing by reason of fixed earns 26, plnngers 27, bowls 29, links 30, and assuming the position shown by'Figs. 5 and 8. The internal solid ram 38 in the meantime by means of inclined annular pathway 17 and runner 39, reaches its highest position and determines the length of the finished bottle. The pressing plunger or pin 9, being now operated by lever 5, will result in the molten metal being pressed into the form indicated. The plunger 9 being withdrawn and the table 10 again rotated, will cause the opening ofthe neck mold 32 and the closing of the neck-mold 34, intended to produce the formation of neck usual in a half-pint bottle. The annular ram 36, by pathway 18 and runner 37, will now have fallen to near the bottom of the body-mold 31 and level with the upper surface of the solid ram 38, the two rams conjointly forming the bottom of the intended bottle and being so shaped as to produce the formation required. The mold containing the pressed bot-tie will now have arrived at the blowing position indicated by dotted line 25. (See Fig. 3.) The pressing-lever 5 being again operated, will cause the sliding bracket 44 and attached blow-valve to descend till the pro jecting nipple on the blow-valve casing will have entered the mouth of the bottle, the attachment 42, Fig. 11-, in the meantime having comcin contact with the upper surface of the mouth-mold 33, raising the valve 40, when blowing will com menco and will continue till the prcssingdever is again lifted. The attachment being now free from the upper surface of the mouth-mold, the spring 43 is free to close the valve,

In Fig. 3 on line 23 the various sections of one mold are shown in the'position they occnpy during the chargingposition, (see Fig. 4,) the space surrounded by interior of annular ram 36 being sufficient to contain without overflowing the quantity of molten metal requisite to form the finished bottle. .The molten metal is charged into the molds as they alternately arrive into the charging position-.by-means'of a ladle, or metal can be gathered on an ordinary blow-pipe and allowed to flow from the pipe into the mold. guy {desired form of bottle or jar can be prouce what I claim, and desireto secure bv Letters, Patent, is
